Great Chalet
This chalet was perfect for us, we were 4 children and 4 adults. The property was really well equipped, the kitchen had everything you could need. The owner is so helpful, she helped with our ski hire, gave recommendations of where to ski, ski schools and general information on the area. The resort was perfect for children learning to ski, the ski instructors (ESF) were great. It’s a lovely little resort. There wasn’t masses of snow whilst we were there, perfect for the lessons but we headed to Châtel (5mins away) for the afternoons and the skiing was great there.

Chalet tell you a tale of our time in Chapelle d'Abondance?
We stayed here as a group of friends for our New Years get together and had a great time. Location is great for skiing. Possible to walk to nearby ski areas depending on snow level and Chatel is only a short drive away and seemingly good in all conditions. The town of La Chapelle d’Abondance is only a 5 minute walk down the hill and the nearby restaurant of Fer Rouge perfect for evening drinks and snacks, with the restaurant brilliant for a lavish evening meal. The dog sledding nearby was greatly enjoyed as a unique experience and being able to see them along the valley from the chalet balcony was a lovely morning sight. Most days we ate in the chalet, the kitchen was well equipped, easy to use, and large enough to prepare meals for 7 comfortably. The whole chalet was well equipped with plenty of seating and space for our group. The fridge / freezer is quite small, so if you plan to bring more than a few days worth of supplies it’s best to keep that in mind. Those who arrived first had no complaints about the check-in procedure. I arrived quite late, and would have struggled to find the chalet in the dark if it weren’t for my friends having already arrived coming out to show us where to go. The only negative point for the whole experience would be the difficulty of finding it in the dark. Communication with the property manager was perfect, quick responses, proactively checked everything was correct on arrival, and even left a little welcome gift. Highly Recommend, 5*s

Excellent séjour dans superbe chalet
Nos vacances au chalet se sont très bien passées. Le chalet est spacieux, confortable, bien agencé, joliment décoré et très bien équipé (l'annonce ne le précise pas mais la cuisine est largement équipée en termes de petit électro-ménager et de vaisselle). Terrasse agréable avec ses 3 orientations. Belle vue. Soirées au coin du feu. Pièce à vivre lumineuse (même en décembre). La propriétaire est très réactive. La buanderie au niveau 0 (évier, lave-linge, sèche-linge) est très pratique, le vaste garage permet de stocker skis, courses, valises (les voitures restent dehors, protégées par le toit et un abri).

Fantastic home from home
We had an absolutely delightful 2 weeks during August in this lovely chalet. It felt like a home rather than 'just another rental property'. Well-furnished and obviously loved by the owners with all the day-to-day appliances and utensils you might need. All the bedrooms were a decent size with two having wonderful south-facing balcony views across the valley and to the mountains in the east. The sitting/dining/kitchen space was great with plenty of seating space for everyone around both the dining table and TV/Fireplace and with great access to the south-facing balcony and patio with 2 outdoor seating/dining spaces, one in the shade (west) and another in the sun (east). A supermarket is just a short drive away and there are plenty of places to eat out just a short walk down the hill. There is no shortage of wonderful walks/hikes for all abilities directly from the chalet or within a half-hour drive. We loved the chalet and Irene (the owner) was easy to contact, attentive, and lovely to deal with. Thanks Irene, we had a great summer holiday, wish we could have stayed longer.
